Stand By Me | Greatest Hits
Jul 29, 2018 • Carolyn Petkau
In 1960, Ben E. King took the lyrics of an old gospel hymn and adapted them to become one of the most recognizable songs of the ’60s, earning its place on the Billboard charts and over $25 million in royalties! Just this last year, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle breathed new life into this song as they included it in their wedding! What you may not know is that “Stand By Me” finds its roots in Psalm 46! This message is a deep dive into the history behind the song, the Psalm, and God’s powerful promise to always stand by us, no matter the circumstance or storm we might find ourselves in!
